[[ FYI my rules about headcanons still stands:

If you like it and you also play Itachi, please use it. I’m not ever gonna complain about it being stolen or whatever, I work hard to draw from canon for my headcanons so they are as true as they can be and I want other people to play Itachi just as well….so pls use them. I will love you. ]]

you’re not owed disclosure of csa or incest survivor status because someone reads thorki or wincest or whatever and you don’t like it

i’m not trying to defend myself here btw. i blacklist canonically abusive ships like rhack & samifer, and incestuous ships like the above before i ever touch a fic archive, actually. this is just something i feel strongly about as a victim of incestuous rape; i’m really sick of my existence being weaponized by the ~last line of defense against evil, evil fiction~.

some people who read (or write) Bad Ships are using it to relate to their own life experiences; some people who read (or write) Bad Ships are interested in the narrative—with either the plot seeming interesting in spite of the ship, or maybe they’re interested in how the relationship is approached and plays out; some people who read (or write) Bad Ships are doing it because they think it’s hot.

surviviors exist in every category listed, and no one is ever obligated to tell you their tragic backstory to be ~allowed~ to read something that’s perfectly legal. and if someone isn’t a survivor, but they still read fic like this for whatever reason? cool! i’m glad they don’t have that trauma, personally.

it’s not your job or my job or anyone’s job to police the themes in the books or fic that people read, and reading something doesn’t mean endorsing it; even if it did, there’s a huge difference between what is overwhelmingly consensual late-teenage or adult sibling incest with no traditional victim to speak of, and, say, my own experiences being raped as a preschooler by the person who was supposed to protect me. somebody reading the first doesn’t mean they think the second was okay or that i deserved it.

incest fic is not incest apologism.
